Songbird repeats every second song endless

[piet85]

Hello at all!
I got a problem with my Songbird (1.4.3) on a Fedora 12 64 bit. When I play music and the first song is over, the song changes but the little loudspeaker symbol in the list, that displays the currently playing song, doesn't move to this song. It just stays on the first played one and also the title of the first one is displayed above the progress bar. But that's not all, when the song should change again (from second to third song), it won't do so. The second played song starts again and will be repeated again and again and ... Meanwhile the mentioned symbol just stays in front of the first song. Only if I press the "next" button two times the third song will be played. So I got to press "next" two times after every two songs. That makes listening to music nearly impossible.
The problem occurred after installing a lot of updates (I had no fast internet connection for months so I now had to install all at once), so it is difficult to say which package causes the issue. Before that Songbird worked all fine for months.
I would be glad to provide further information, but neither running songbird in terminal, nor the songbird error console shows up any error related to this behaviour. I also tried to delete the .songbird2 folder in my userhome, but it made no difference at all. Normally i would get the latest verion of the software at first, but since songbird dropped linux support, there is no newer linux version than the one installed on my system.
Can anyone help? Or maybe just give a hint, where I can find an error message that is useful to find the issue?

Since Songbird dropped Linux as an officially supported OS, I think you'll struggle to get help here, you will be best asking at the songbird forum or using Songbird help.

That's the point, I have started a thread at getsatisfaction, but nobody answers, so I thought maybe someone using fedora could have the same issue and maybe could help. Maybe they just ignore linux questions at getsatisfaction since dropping linux support.

I doubt its an issue you could solve here. Sounds to me like Songbird needs to be compiled against the updated libraries in fedora.

Your best bet could be to try a songbird nightly.

After that, you really are stuck with the Songbird forums.

Sounds to me like Songbird needs to be compiled against the updated libraries in fedora.

You can't compile songbird from the source code, there are no configure or makefiles in the packages, just a file you can execute to start it. That was new to me too, cause I usually installed it from rpm.
But I looked on the nightly builds page and found out that there is source code for a newer stable version (1.7) which is not available as rpm. So I unpacked and started it and it works fine.
So thank you a lot for helping!
